Getting There

By ferry is the most dramatic approach. The Bodø–Moskenes ferry crosses the open sea in three to four hours and arrives directly in Moskenes village. In summer, book well in advance — car spaces sell out. Foot passengers have more flexibility. Torghatten Nord runs the route.

By bus and ferry via the northern Lofoten gateway: fly to Svolvær (Harstad/Narvik Airport Evenes is the closest mainline airport, with bus connections), then travel the E10 highway south through the archipelago. The drive from Svolvær to Å takes about three hours, passing through Ballstad, Ramberg, and the other Lofoten municipalities.

By car and ferry from Bodø (four-hour ferry) or from the north via the E10. The E10 terminates at the car park in Å — the road literally ends there, which is part of the point.

There is no bridge connecting Moskenes Island to the rest of Lofoten — the Nappstraumen channel separates it — so a ferry crossing is unavoidable from the south.
